Class focuses more on hands on than just watching long videos which I think is a great teaching strategy. Steve was very informative and answered all our questions. Complete equipments for the training. The mannequins are so hi-tech it lights up red or green when your compressions are too fast/slow which gives you direct feedback. 3 hours of class went by super fast! Steve knows how to keep his class fun! The building was very easy to find. They even provide a snack bar when you get hungry in class. If you're one of those people that gets distracted in class easily or falls asleep watching long videos, I would highly suggest for you to go here. It'll be a completely different learning environment. Thank me later!!

In my line of work, I have to be certified in CPR/First Aid. Though it's unlikely I'll have to use…read moreit (and hopefully I won't), it is very useful knowledge to have and the amount of time that passes between trainings makes it a good refresher. Each time I've taken the classes here, they've been informative and straight forward. The instructors are always welcoming and knowledgeable. They welcome questions and do well explaining situations and procedure alongside the training videos. The classes are easy to sign up for and have plenty of availability. The classes are about 4 or so hours long, with a few breaks in between which is nice. It's always nice to see folks taking these classes simply because they're into being outdoors where much of this comes in handy. I do leave each of these classes feeling more confident about helping someone potentially in need.

My wife and renewed our required First Aid/CPR and AED certification by taking Kevin's training…read moretoday. Somehow he's made it even more enjoyable and faster-paced than two years ago. He has such an easy and clear manner in teaching his class. What both impressed and surprised me is how certain CPR instructions have changed in the past two years. Kevin gave detailed instructions even in where/how to stand next to someone having a cardiac or choking event, where to position legs and feet and where to put the cellphone (on speakerphone) next to the victim for talking with a 911 operator. Kevin's trainings are replete with stories about calls he's been on in the past year or so and the specific reasons why some of those calls had happy or tragic endings. The expanse of his knowledge on his subject is breathtaking--so he's the right guy to be teaching this class! Also, we've been to CPR/First Aid certification training that dragged on and on. Kevin's class flies by while ensuring we all have not only gained or refreshed knowledge but had that right amount of hands-on practice. He covers so much in his 3-hour training that it's best to just take the class to discover all it encompasses. And--Kevin? See you in two years, my friend.

This was the biggest thorn in my side until I stumbled upon Marlo and Scott's business via an email referral. After our first class with them I asked if they would be interested in being our primary CPR and first aid certification provider. An Ounce of Prevention and their employees are true professionals; they are always early, communicate very well when trying to schedule the class, they have been great at accommodating our needs on short notice and can cater to all levels of experience with CPR and first aid. The classes themselves were a great balance of content, hands one learning, stories and Q&A. They created a personable atmosphere where you feel like you can ask questions and allow a lot of hands on time with the CPR dummies. We have been working with them for around 3 years now and have always been satisfied with their services. I would recommend them to anyone looking for CPR and First Aid certifications.

I had a great late night class at this location renewing one of my certifications. The facility is…read moreclean and has several bathrooms, coffee and tea, and good acoustics. The breakout rooms were nice and perfect for larger groups. We had a pretty small group and were able to get at lot of individualized attention and help. Several students shared experiences and asked questions and our instructor, a paramedic, was great about going through the scenarios and making them learning experiences for all of us. He also shared some really interesting stories and how he handled them. The mega codes went well and we all worked as a team to get through them. The exam only took 30-40 minutes and was around 50 questions. Overall it was a great class and I was happy I chose this later time slot to get my renewal out of the way.

The first day they had us in and out in under 4 hours, not six. The second day the megacode practice was a joke. The "practice" actually turned out to be the test portion, which everyone passed, again, without really learning or doing much of anything. During written open-book testing it was noisy chaos, with people lining up to do CPR recert after, and chatting away.

I had her class today and it was great, then I read her 1 bad review from Ted A. and had to…read morerespond: Information sticks in people's heads when the information is embedded in example stories. Stories from the instructor and from the experiences of the students. It's up to the student's if they want to share their experiences, it's not forced. Many students have worked a childcare profession for years and need to renew every 2 years. Which means they have stories of emergencies that happen to them and they can relate to the serious lessons being taught. I am sorry Ted A. with the one star review doesn't normally learn through conversation and other's experiences. It sounds like Ted wanted a straight forward list and then to leave. That's my guess. But, for me it was a 2.5 hour class and it was all encompassing. She covered all the material and she had added advice and stories to back up her lessons. For example, I needed my CPR cert because I am applying to be a Nanny. Since she asked me what job I needed the CPR cert for, she was able to give me advice about knowing for sure what addresses I am at in case I need to call 911, because she knows as a Nanny, I won't always be stationary. I am grateful she brought that to my attention and would recommend her class to anyone needing their CPR cert. She has a great attitude and is highly knowledgeable. Will probably go back in 2 years.
